FredC: I have separated the drawings to make it clearer: Old vs. New.

The Krag chamber was never recessed for the rim. The old drawing could give that impression, so I have eliminated the confusing shade areas.

Good eye on the .030" dimensional difference! Old Ordnance Dept. Mistake?

I suspect, the difference may actually be .003".
